[Historical romance coming-of-age + mutual salvation + plot-driven; a heroine who grows stronger versus a hero who loves both his kingdom and his swallow]
She was a swallow whose heart yearned for the vast world and the freedom to soar. When she met the man she loved deeply, her feelings burst into flame, burning as fiercely as fire.
For the sake of the man she loved, so that his path might be smooth and worry-free, she willingly became the steps he climbed, helping him rise higher and higher.
He had once been mired in the mud. Just when he was helpless, a swallow came fluttering by. He seized the rare opportunity, hoping to use her strength to break free of his predicament.
From that moment on, their fates became tightly intertwined.
He hoped to spread his wings and soar alongside her, turning her into a splendid, noble phoenix who could look down upon this boundless land from on high.
But cruel reality taught him that the affairs of this world were complex and unpredictable, and never entirely under his control.
The higher you climb, the colder it gets. Only then did he suddenly realize that all he longed for was the steaming bowl of plain porridge she had cooked by hand, and the small light she had left burning for him.
She fulfilled his wish, and honored the depth of her own love.
Sadly, in the end, she still failed to fulfill her own wish, leaving only regret and helplessness behind.
It feels pretty good. It's just that the heroine Shangguan Yan feels like a child, but it looks like a coming-of-age story. I hope to see the heroine Shangguan Yan become really powerful as soon as possible. The male and female protagonists feel like they are developing so fast. Traveling at the speed of light 🤭🤭
Both Shangguan Yan and Situ Yun were let down in their childhoods, and they had similar experiences. So they can understand each other better. Shangguan Yan doesn't want to prove anything, nor does she want to find the fatherly and maternal love she once enjoyed. She prefers to love the male protagonist. Although Situ Yun likes to weigh the pros and cons, he has always been partial to Shangguan Yan. Their love for each other redeems each other.
